    Hello again dear Buddypress support forum.

    I would like to show total posts under people’s name and avatar in the forum session.

    I’ve googled this quite a bit, most posts were 2years + old, and didn’t work for me.

    Does anyone have a neat little way of doing this trick in funtions.php file or something like that?

    Thanks.

    I’d rather avoid using a plugin for this.

    Hey @fugglet

    Pop this into your template:

    echo count_user_posts( bp_displayed_user_id() )

    Note, if bp_displayed_user_id() doesn’t work in that particular context then you’ll need an alternative way of getting the member’s ID.

    Do I post this in my functions.php?

    No. It goes into your template. So for example, if you wanted to display the count in your member profile header, then you’d put it in member-header.php.

    Take a look at this article for more info on the BP template hierarchy for how to set up templates (if you don’t have them already).

    I don’t see anything with that directs me towards my avatar area in the forum.
    I’d like to place it under the avatar.
    Same deal for my website http://blazeplay.com/forums/topic/hi/

    Isn’t that something you should do inside the buddypress or bbpress files? It might just be me being a bit confused here.

    Or can I see which file it’s in by using Firebug in Firefox or similar?

    I must admit, the template hierarchy was slightly confusing at first for me too but once you get your head around it, it is a very powerful way of using templates. It works similarly to the WordPress template hierarchy if that helps.
